Sometimes the last thing you want to do is spend time in front of the oven, cooking meals from scratch. But there are some ways that you can still eat healthily, whilst on a budget, without spending hours slaving in front of the oven.

The best thing that you can do to stick to a budget is to plan your meals for the week. On a Sunday, or whenever you get free time, make

a list of all the meals you plan to make throughout the week. Then, make a list of the ingredients you’ll need to make these foods.

Where possible, buy foods that can be kept in your store cupboard so that you can rustle up a meal without having to nip out to the shops again for fresh ingredients. Here are some of the best healthy foods

that you can buy whilst on a budget.
